I still don't get the T-Wolves draft. Why not just take Rubio and Curry and let them play? You'd have a nice young core with Love, Jefferson, Curry, and Rubio.

I think the chances that Curry busts are pretty high to be honest. Id compare him to Reddick who hasnt done much. At the best I could see him have a career like his dad as a top 6th man. |

I don't know. I think he's a little overated but he's got a lot of ability to score. He was constantly playing against defenses completely set for him and still scored at will. Reminds me a bit of Ben Gordon if he can add some strength. |

Perhaps. Hes a hard one to judge. I mean a lot of times he would just dribble down the court and pop from 27 feet. Hes not shy thats for sure. Whether or not he can tone his style down and be effective against bigger/faster defenders is difficult to know. Last edited by jbergey22 : 06-25-2009 at 10:07 PM. |

Meh. I don't care if he's a dick. If he can play, I'll take him. Look at Rasheed. Of course, I have no idea if he's any good.

Well he was against box + 1 defenses constantly. It'll be interesting to see how he plays when he's being covered man-to-man. I think he has more upside than a lot of the guys in the draft and it would have been worth it for Minnesota to take a shot at him.

The thing with the box + 1 is he didnt really work through the defense he just shot from further out. I would have liked to have seen more patience and creating from him rather than chucking bombs outside the box + 1. Sure he didnt have much talent around him but ....... |

Why is Dick V talking about college players in the NBA? Didnt he get canned as an NBA coach?

Just got home from work and a show in town, so just catching up. Interesting stuff that went on. James Johnson is a steal for the Bulls. Austin Daye is a huge reach.

You know a pick is bad when the highlights for the guy you drafted is 50% him dancing on the sidelines.

Curry to Golden State seems like a bad fit to me off hand. I like the trade the Nets made, even though Rafer Alston is spotty, Lee is a good young player.

I think New Jersey was freeing up cap room to make a run at Lebron in 2010. Still think they are an untalked about dark horse in the sweepstakes. They'll be in Brooklyn by 2011 and unlike the Knicks, will have some talent to surround him with. They'll change their name to the Brooklyn Ballers and would allow Lebron to be a historic figure for a team with no history.

Agreed. When I heard Patty Mills came out early, I was truly confused. Maybe he was bored with college after playing international ball and figures that he can always go back to Australia and play for eucalyptus if things don't work out here. I can only imagine how confused he makes the guys he plays against.

Yeah, that's probably true. I actually just watched some YouTube vids on him, and he actually looks pretty damned good. But where do they play him? SF is packed and he's got Rip and Stuckey (when he's not being forced to play PG) there. It should be interesting.

They're not moving to Brooklyn. Seriously. Don't believe that hype, no matter what Bruce RATner says. We've been saying on the board for years and they're still in the swamp. He will sell the team in the next 18 months and that'll be coupled with a move to Newark. That said, the whole LeBron run makes sense. I hadn't remembered it.

Is Taylor Griffin the first brother to get drafted solely on the strength of his younger brother in the same draft?

Hey, the Suns got the brother of Blake Griffin. Maybe he can join Robin Lopez and reach the Don Swayze, Frank Stallone, Ozzie Canseco level of disappointment Robin has been so far!

Nope, Suns did it last season with Robin Lopez. That move is paying dividends right now

They committed to play there in 2011 and they will be starting to build the arena in a few months. They've also been fighting it heavily in court (and winning). I just think if they can get Lebron, it makes a ton of sense for everyone. |

Thats a great late 2nd round pick by the Jazz imo. Suton will fit in well if he can hack it.
but he may just turn out to be another crappy center forward that goes to play in europe in 2 years. Last edited by k0ruptr : 06-25-2009 at 10:36 PM. |

New Orleans picks up Marcus Thorton. At least he won't have to drive as far from his campus apartment.
